Through the bizarre combination of having access to a laser cutter but only a small 3D printer, I have designed and produced a minimalistic yet bold showcase of the Framework Mainboard. This case features space for a Wi-Fi card and antennas*, two slots for framework expansion cards** and a decorative gemstone patterned fan intake***.

  • * Antennas just about have enough clearance to slide the mainboard in.

  • ** I cannot guarantee that the slots are perfectly sized as I have no cards.

  • *** The storage and RAM shall simply suffer. 

I made this as a practice piece with makerspace equipment. It took 9 versions and 3 attempted outputs trimming down all of the bloat and excess to finally arrive at this design, which admittedly has a few flaws still. It's been serving well as a little home server for 9 months collecting dust in the corner of my room. Then imagine my surprise that there's a contest on this exact topic.

Additional materials:

  • (Panels) 3mm Acrylic sheet and chamfer tool, or print the panels

  • M2.5 Nuts x10

  • M2.5 Countersunk Screws (recommend x6 8mm, x4 6mm)

  • Framework Mainboard and mounting screws

  • (Optional) Wi-Fi card and antennae

  • (Optional) Framework Expansion Cards
